‘The first Sunday school anc church 
social of the year was held at the 
home of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Powell 
It was 
given in behalf of the Sunday school’s 
third birthday. and a collection was 
taken up, everybody giving the 
amount in cents to equal their“ age 
Exactly one hundred people attend- 
ed. Songs, were sung and Mrs. Ray 
Powell played the piano, The young 
folks played a few games outdoors 


after which a splendid lunch was 
served. - The main feature of the 
lunch was the big birthday cake 
decorated with - flowers and _ three 
small candles. Fred Bennett 
was raught in the act of 


stealing a pie. He should have been 
arrested for such outrageous conduct. 

Mr. F. W. Crandle gave a splendid 
speech on the progress of the chureh 
and Sunday school in the 
years. If it hadn’t been for him 
several of the young folks would have 
went without lunch on account of 
the big crowd. After Mr. Crandle 
vave his speech, everybody gave Mr. 
and Mrs, Powell hearty thanks for 
the splendid time and all claim that 
they are looking forward to the next. 
If a crowd would turn up to church, 
and Sunday schoo) like they turned 


out last Friday night, we'd gure have

| Those figures are correct, having been 
‘taken from official records, such as 
the U.S.D.A. Year Book, and the 
Seed Trade Buyers’ Guide, published

be no question as to ample and stable 


markets,

of the best records, and shows what 
can be done in a good seed year. 
Sweet clover has not been grown 
very extensively here, as yet, how- 
ever, a 19.3 acre field of the White 
Blossomed variety at Tilley in 1919 
produced 17,200 pounds ‘of cleaned, 
seed ;~an average of 891 pounds per 
acre; was sold for 30 cents a pound, 
and thus giving gross returns of 
$267.30 per acre. The performance 
of other and smaller patches, in both 
the years 1919 and 1920, indicate that 
it is reasonable to expect In season- 
able years, yields of from 400 to 500 
pounds per acre. Thus the price 
could drop to 10 cents per pound and

of the cost is for labor, and as the

Climatic and Soil Conditions 
To produce alfalfa and clover seed, 
particularly alfalfa, requires a climate 
that has bright warm days, with 
long hours of sunshine, and dry during 
the blooming anc harvesting periods. 
Southern Alberta has just such wea- 
ther at the right time. The years 
1918 and 1919 were just right, while 
the year 1920 did not. average quite

the mos. important factors, and ex- 
plains why small seed crops lend 
themselves so well to irrigation agri- 
culture. There is no doubt but what 
there are considerable areas in the,

That unless a remarkable revtsid 
was shown in business a minimum of 
$10,000,000 and a maximum of §$20,- 
000,000 would be necessary to provide 
relief for soldiers in Canada during 
the next winter, was stated before the 
special parliamentary commission on 
soldiers’ re-establishment this morn- 
ing by C. G. MacNeil, Dominion sec- 
retary of the Great War Veterans’ 
Association. 

The crig’is in the unemployment 
situation was at hand, he reiterated, 
and would reach a peak during the 
winter months, Last winter, soldiers 
believed to have been in comfortable 
circumstances were found on the 
verge of starvation, and without “a 
eryst of bread” in their homes. Mr. 
MacNeil again asserted 250,000  sol- 
diers were not re-established and 
that 50 per cent. of these were driven 
to desperate measures, Approxi- 
mately $6,000,000 was spent on relief 
last winter. 

Mr. MacNeil urged for a compre- 
hensive scheme for loans for houses, 
education and industrial enterprises, 
immediately productive. 

Mr. recognized 
the importance of this and said de- 
tails would have to be considered by

Mr. MacNeil also asked for certain

In Agricultire, 

An especially interesting feature of |’ 
the grant to.the province of Manitoba 
made under the Dominion Agricul- 
tural pane i, lon Act which amount- 
ed, according to the report on the 

working of the act fer 1919-20, to 
$77,113, is the allotment of $20,000 to 
extension schools, of $23,000 to aid in 
the teaching of home econoniics, and 

a like amount to the encouragement 
oa development of Yoys’ and girls’ 

clubs. Thus, néarly two-thirds of 
the grant is devoted directly ‘to in- 
struction in agriculture for the youth 
of both sexes, Twenty thousand dol- 
lars went towards meeting the ex- 
penses of a wéthestablished and thor- 
pugh going agticultural representa-

‘helps towards @hiry work, beekeeping,

How well hom economics has been

the women’s institutes, which held 
during the year five-day courses to 
the number of 390 in home economics, 
including dress:naking and millinery, 
increased in number and membership, 
respectively from 17 and 750 in 1914

120 and 4,800 in 1919. Under an ar-

the Grimm alfalfa seed grown by six 
different farmers near Brooks is be- 
ing registered and that he is sending 
them certificates of registration, The 
fields of these growers were inspect- 
ed last year and the seed offered for 
registration as Grimm. As a result 
of the registration, farmers. will now 
be able to have registered seed grown 
from this stock, This marks a tre-

Brooks district. Seed growers and 
distributors have been clamoring for 
this seed for years, and will now be, 
able to procure the pure Grimm al-

glass of milk each evening at 7 
o'clock, The first evening Jane 
brought in the glass clasped tightly 
in her hand, 

“Don't do that agairt; it’s bad eti- 
quette, Jane,” ordered the mistress. 
“Always bring it in on a tray.” 

Next evening Jane appeared with a 
tray full of milk in her hand. 

“Excuse me, ma’am,” said the maid. 
“Do you want a spoon, or will you lap 
it up?"

With France Second. 

Great Britain had a_ surplus. of 
£ 200,000,000 as between income and 
outgo for the fiscal year just ended. 
Out of this she was able to reduce 
her floating debt by £41,082,000 and 
to apply the remainder on capital ac- 
count, This excellent financial gesult 
has been accompanied by a most gra- 
tifying growth in trade. Experts for 
1920 increased by £240,000,000, and 
showed gains in 85 out pf 98 markets, 
exclusive of overseas colonies, In- 
dia was her best customer, with 
France next, and the United States 
third. Trade with India was doub!ed 
during the year. These facts give 
the best assurance of Britain’s strong 
place in the commercial world, and of 
her power to rehabilitate herself after 
the severe, trials of the -war.—St.

Nearly everybody in Southwest 
Missouri cither knows or has heard 
of the Rev. Parker Moon, who for a 
full half century has devoted his life 
and talents to Sunday school and or- 
Sapo work for the Society .of 

tiends or Quakers. 

“Uncle Parker,” as he is more fa- 
miliarly known, came from fine old 
ru uaker-stock, and there is not 
a better known or more highly re- 
spected citizen in that part of the 
state. In referring to his remark- 
able restoration to fealth by Tanlac, 
he said: ae 

“About five years ago I suffered 
a general breakdown, My principal 
trouble was nervous indigestion. My 
appetite was very poor and my food 
seldom agreed with me, and I had to 
live on a very restricted.diet. I suf- 
fered a great deal from headaches 
and dizzy spells; I had severe pains 
across the small of my back and was 
badly constipated most of the time. 
In fact, I was so weak and rundown 
I was not able to attend to my duties. 

“This condition made me very nerv- 
ous and I could not sleep at night. 
Frequently I would lie awake nrest 
al] night and was in that condition 
more or for five years. ~~ My

It is understood that the company

A Romance of the Sea 


Former Ship’s Boy Gives £20,000 for 
A College. 

Sir William Reardon Smith, of Car- 
diff, Wales, who sent a cheque for 
£18,000, making in all a gift of £20,- 
000, for the establishment of a Na- 
tional School for South Wales at 
Cardiff Technical College, has had a 
career which is a modern romance of 
the sea. 

The son of a seafarer, Sir William 
started his sea career at the age of 
twelve as ship’s boy on a fifty-ton 
smack, through successive 
ranks to skipper, and eventaully— 
sixteen years ago—to shipowner. 

Today he thirty-five steam- 
ers aggregating neatly 300,000 tons, 
and was associated with Lord Glane- 
ly in the purchase of Chepstow Na- 
tional Shipyards recently.

Why Soap Cleans. 
forebears discovered that 
ashes, mixed with water, ‘give a 
smooth, slippery feeling and also that 
the mixture has cleaning power. 

The reason is tlfat the ash is rich 
in soda or potash, both of which are 
good for washing, but tg use them 
alone is hurtful to fabrics; so. we com- 
bine them with fats and make a soap, 
but it is the alkalies (soda and pot- 
ash) that cut mto the “dirt and grease 
and make it easy for the water to 
rinse them away.
